1,200 KIDAPAWAN RESIDENTS VAXXED BY ‘RESBUSKUNA’

At least 1,200 qualified residents in Kidapawan City benefited from the weekend “ResBUSkuna” mobile vaccination initiative for the A4 priority group that included walk-in clients and government employees.

Mayor Joseph Evangelista said that the program, aptly dubbed “ResBUSkuna,” utilized the mobile vaccination bus stationed at the town center along the Davao-Cotabato national road from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

“All residents belonging to the A1 (health front-liners), A2 (senior citizens), and A3 (persons with comorbidities) categories were also served with jabs against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),” Evangelista said.

“Residents were required to present either their local QR code or COVID-19 Contact Tracing System card or QR Code to healthcare workers, while persons with comorbidities were required to bring their medical certificates.”

“Same procedures were observed in tents installed nearby to cater to all walk-in residents who wish to get vaccinated,” Evangelista said.

“The tents also served as the waiting and screening area with two inoculation teams set up just beside the bus.”
